 |
|
Hi,
I've got this weird issue with my system...
When I set it to compile a kernel (which takes a while), and I go away, I find the machine with a blank screen. When I touch the keyboard, the system won't come back up... Access the machine through SSH also fails...
Anybody else have/had this issue? Is there a known solution?
/var/log/messages contains nothing useful...
I have tried this multiple times, the issue is reproducable...
Machine specs: http://members.home.nl/keizerflipje/netfinity/
It has a S3 Trio3D AGP (4MB) video card
I'm running a 2.6.7 kernel.
Thanks,
Pascal de Bruijn |

I have to say that IBM doesn't really make very nice systems... However, you could try just making the problem so it will never occur by typing:
This will make it so it wont make the screen go blank. |

Aha, thanks...
Well about that IBM thing... I've tried many distro's without issues... That's the weird thing...
And if you look at the specs, the machine has good hardware...

Where would it be smart to put that command to have it that way at every boot? |

I've tried it, and it seems to stop the lockup...
I think the best way would be to write your own /etc/init.d script for it...
That would be the cleanest solution, just take an existing init.d script and use it as a template.

You could put it in '/etc/conf.d/local.start'

Thanks, I don't know if it was this or if it was me disabling the framebuffer by removing the
line from lilo.conf, but now It's working  We've also discussed this problem in this thread> https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=1490133
Thanks for your help. |
